PSD & Rookie Draft Results

[Go_Dogs]

I thought we could use this thread to keep track of the results from both drafts this morning.

J Mulligan from Southport.
H White from North Adelaide.
J Shaw from Sandrinham Dragons.

And of course S Welsh in the PSD.

Anyone have an info on these players?

Interestingly the Hawks picked up Tim Walsh I believe. Wonaeamirri whom I had some interest in this season was rookie listed by Melbourne. Richmond grabbed Gourdis with their first selection in the PSD.

Concludes a pretty interesting trade and draft period.

Good luck to Walsh, but there's a long tall forward que at the Hawks awaiting him.

Re: PSD & Rookie Draft Results

Certainly is, which makes the decision all the more puzzling imo. Perhaps he's seen as a defensive prospect to take over from Croad at some stage? Who knows. But he will be behind arguably the deepest tall forward list in the AFL.

IIRC he wasn't a great success as a defender at the Bees.

A ruck apparently, which means the Hawks have a fair few of these as well.

Interesting this is the guy I haven't seen anything on so far

Who was the last guy named Henry we had on the list?

Nice to have some legitimately tall players on our rookie list. The perfect place to find a tall smokey.

Henry Power is the only Henry to have ever played for Footscray/Western Bulldogs since we entered the league in 1925. He played 2 games in 1927 & wore #8.

Re: PSD & Rookie Draft Results

the 3 rookies have really oldschool names like you'd expect 50 odd years ago.

there's no Farren's or callans or Jarrads in there,

good old fashioned names like henry white, john shaw and james mulligan.
